8 days until we move from assessment to action. Swipe through the morning. 👉

On Thursday, Oct 8, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce Racial Equity Council hosts the 2nd Annual Access to Capital Summit. It brings together lenders, CDFIs, business owners, and community leaders to focus on getting capital to South Florida's diverse and underserved businesses.

Inside the morning:

National and South Florida research on the state of capital access
Table breakouts where lenders and business owners solve problems together
A first look at BRIDGE Broward, a new $1M microloan program that pairs every loan with coaching
A roadmap for the year ahead

The last slide asks a question, so answer it in the comments: what keeps lenders and business owners from connecting?
